Fishing
Longlands Lake
Fish in the lake includes wild brown trout and eel's.
Longlands lake previously know as Brokenlands, was rented from by Wathbrow and Ennerdale Anglers Association.
The lake was then stocked with rainbow trout and brown trout some time in the 1980's, the lake is now also stocked with Blue trout.
The trout range from 1 ¼ LB to 9 LB, and are stocked once a month with the record trout caught so far being a 11 ¼ LB Rainbow grown on due to the high proportion of natural feed in the lake.
The fishery is run on a non profit making basis all of the profit from the permit sales are put back as fish into the lake.
The Disabled fishing platform which was recently erected on the lake was kindly funded by the Environment Agency with help from Mothersill Engineering and Eskett quarries providing tools and stone. The platform is wheelchair friendly with access from the car park to the lake.
